In countless photos on social networks, the perfect picture of a freelancer usually looks like this: a beach, the sea, a yacht, and a small laptop sitting on tanned legs, next to an extravagant looking cocktail, replete with straw and umbrella. You look at this picture and imagine all the adorable and alluring prospects: you complete the entire job, which would normally take you the whole day spent in a stuffy office, in a few hours, and then go swimming!

It turns out that the origin of the modern term ‘freelance’ is absolutely not connected with the advent of the Internet. Back in 1972, a scientist at the University of Southern California proposed a format of work in which employees did not have to stay at the office all the time, and communication could be maintained over the phone.

The reasons, as well as prospects for joint development, were discussed during an interview with representatives of smartCAT, Pavel Doronin and Arseniy Konov, and the head of Protemos, Vladimir Kukharenko.
